Very difficult to follow the Richard Luce's who were clergy at Neen Sollers and Hopton Wafers; see comment at 65146 for doubt that that person was at Hopton Wafers - he would hae been 87 but could have been and may have died same year.
Neen Sollers - from WDG Fletcher (ed) 1915 "Shropshire Parish Registers" Vol XVI says that a Richard Luce was R of Neen Sollers 1531, still there in 1553 and that benefice was vacant in 1587; meantime the list of rectors inserted in the Baptismal register gives a Richard Luce instituted at Neen Sollers in 1562. Possible that this man 172678 was that rector but described as curate (though details on the lib. cler entry suggest it is describing a rector)
